Abstract
This thesis examines digital disruption by exploring how the concept of exponential organizations relates to the theory of disruptive innovation. The problem statement is grounded in the book “Exponential Organizations” and articulated through three sub-questions. The research design first conducts a literature review to address these questions and then applies a deductive, matrix-based framework to map convergences and tensions between the two domains. Methodologically, it combines inductive and deductive approaches to formulate and test a hypothesis about their relationship. The study situates the inquiry within a broader 21st-century context of digitalization, exponential technological change, and the organizational need for adaptability. The analysis is followed by discussion and conclusions; specific findings are not included in this excerpt, but the aim is to clarify overlaps, differences, and implications for leadership and strategy.
Specialet undersøger digital disruption med fokus på, hvordan begrebet eksponentielle organisationer relaterer sig til teorien om disruptiv innovation. Problemformuleringen tager afsæt i bogen “Exponential Organizations” og udmøntes i tre delspørgsmål. Undersøgelsen bygger på et forskningsdesign, der først gennemfører et litteraturreview for at besvare delspørgsmålene og dernæst anvender en deduktiv matrix-ramme til at kortlægge sammenfald og modsætninger mellem de to felter. Metodisk kombineres induktive og deduktive greb for både at udvikle og afprøve en hypotese om sammenhængen. Projektet sætter udviklingen ind i en bredere 21.-århundredes kontekst af digitalisering, eksponentiel teknologisk vækst og behovet for organisatorisk tilpasningsevne. Analysen munder ud i diskussion og konklusion; konkrete resultater er ikke detaljeret i dette uddrag, men sigtet er at tydeliggøre overlap, forskelle og implikationer for ledelse og strategi.
